I am thankful for all those I've met through fishing and all those I will meet. Wishing good health to your friend and to all fishermen that we fish with. Tight Lines !
I'm 58.... I've lost fishing friends my age or slightly older some to heart atacks.. others to cancer.. it took my Father @ 63... my mother died from a series of heart attacks @ 57.. I'm no starnger to it...... but when I see young guy's in thier 30's getting sick.. it refocuses your thoughts on life... Pieema... glad to hear good news... as you said.. you know where my heart is...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
